There really wasn't much online in the 80s, other than a lot of archives. After the invention of HTML and subsequently, the World Wide Web it became a lot more user-friendly and also got filled with a lot of garbage. After 2010 or so is when enshitiffication went into overdrive.
Yeah I was about 10 in 1990 so I got the tail end but the 80s also had a lot of scientific stuff which is why it's better than now
Honestly being on here, pixelfed and mastodon kinda is capturing that old internet energy for me. I’m hopefully to see these spaces grow and am going to do my part to keep spreading awareness.
When I first joined Lemmy as part of the semi-great API migration it seemed quite empty, but it does feel like it has slowly grown, unfortunately I'm finding following Trump getting in I can't scroll without seeing tons of Trump/Musk posts. Doesn't matter how many things I block it is neverending. I just want to go back to when we were just here to have fun, not constantly be reminded as to what is happening across the pond.
You can filter words in apps like Voyager. Takes a few updates with fridge terms but it quiets things down a lot.
Sticking to communities that you’ve subscribed to also helps.
But right now things in America might actually lead to a Nazi uprising lead by trump and musk. People need to seriously start considering taking precautions if they haven’t already. Get stocked up and spread awareness.
I remember making a myspace page because a girl I had a crush on had one.

In my wildest dreams as well, I wouldn't have imagined the shit storm that is going on... and that too is amplified by internet which was supposed to be a good thing...
That's a serval, I think. Maybe a caracal?

It's not capitalism that is collapsing
Liberalism is a capitalist ideology.
The criticism is that late stage capitalism corrupts itself and becomes fascism/technocracy/feudalism/whatever as the powers of corporation and state merge.
That or everyone dies from ecological collapse.
Of course, the idea that it's not capitalism when the state does it is a core capitalist conceit. A lot of socialists are trying to have their cake and eat it too on the definitions.
Capitalism is an economic system where private individuals or businesses own the means of production.
That isn't what's dying.
And when that individual styles themselves as the state itself?
Like Doge Musk.
Authoritarian capitalism
